We express no opinion as to the applicability of, compliance with or effect of, the law of any jurisdiction other the substantive laws (excluding its applicable choice of law rules) of the State of Arkansas as in effect on the date hereof. None of the opinions or other advice contained in this letter considers or covers any federal, state or foreign securities (or “blue sky”) laws or regulations.
